xe_survivabi...is_requested(9)

✨ NAME ✨

xe_survivability_mode_is_requested — bestie, this is the vibe check that tells you whether survivability mode (the one firmware or userspace was like "hey can we turn this on?") is actually possible to enable 💅

(also hi, you're reading the xe_survivability_mode_is_requested(9) page, welcome 🎀)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool xe_survivability_mode_is_requested (struct xe_device *xe );

okay so it's a bool. it either slays (true) or it doesn't (false). no in-between, no "it's complicated" 🦋

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• xe — the xe device instance. literally the device we're asking about, that's it, that's the whole arg 🫶

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So this function pulls up and reads two things, no cap:

1. configfs 📋
2. boot status from Pcode 💾

that's the whole job. it reads them, and based on what it finds it tells you whether survivability mode is a go or a no-go ✨

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns true when both of these line up:

• platform support is available ✅
• the boot status indicates failure 💀

…or if survivability mode is straight-up requested 🙋‍♀️

Otherwise? false. that's it. that's the answer ✌️

ngl, read that carefully — the "boot status indicates failure" part is doing a lot of work in that sentence and it's not the same thing as just "someone asked for it" 👀
